Considering how common these were some months ago, we're actually surprised things were this quite for such a long time. During the entire later half of last year, as well as the early months of 2016, GTA related journalism practically thrived on fake leak stories being posted, referenced, re-referenced, back-linked and re-re-referenced in a criss-cross pattern by the same handful of websites.
Of course, all of these turned out to be fake. Even one of the voice actors for a GTA 5 protagonist, namely Shawn Fonteno who played Franklin Clinton tried to once again play the community for fools, this time by recruiting the voice actor of CJ from San Andreas to help him in his little facade. Since then, the relative number of single-player DLC "leaks" has dropped significantly — considering that in the autumn/winter of 2015, we had more than one per week.
But all good things must come to an end. Yet another blatantly fake story DLC "leak" has been making the rounds, getting the hopes of gullible fans up over nothing. We've seen some shoddily made fake leaks in the past. While this doesn't number among the worst of them, it is a pretty poor attempt.
Let's start this off that the whole leak is based on alleged screenshots and details being shared by a leaker with some journalist — who then reported on the leak but neglected to show any evidence, such as the mentioned screenshots. Then this report promptly disappeared once the news of the leak picked up.
As the story goes, a YouTuber called "XXII" shared with one of the writers of a Greek news site some photographic evidence of upcoming Story DLC. This update would greatly expand the map of the game, adding new continents with the cities of Las Venturas and San Fierro as playable areas.
